I learned of Green Hour, a great online resource, on The Homeschooler's Guide to the Galaxy blog. On this website, you can type in your zip code and find all of the closest public parks, campsites, and gardens. I tried my zip code out and saw all of my favorite places, as well as some that I'll now have to explore. Check it out:

Thanks for the nature link. I'm in NJ too and was able to find even more places to visit.
Hi, I'm glad you liked the link. I think it's really great :-)
